The log jam mentioned a few days
ago as having formed at TaylOr'S Falls
is gradually growing in proportions. II
is not feared that the jam will be as
large as the one at the same point last
year, as the logs are not coming down
as rapidly as then, and large number
of drivers are at that point trying to
effect break. 1t is serious enough,
however, to hinder somewhat in the fill
ing of orders by lumbermen here, and
no definite time can be set as to when
the jam can be broken or how large it
may become before the same is effected.
Lumbermen are watching it anXiously,
and hope that this week will end the
suspense.
Saltwater will not, as was hoped, have
the free mail delivery system go into
effect July /. Postmaster Mccarthy
and the city engineer, together with the
newspapers, have pointed out the adj
vantages of this system to the people
and urged them to hurry up the NUM-
bering of their stores and residences,
but still large number of houses are
without number, and Postmaster Nc
Carthy says the service may go into eff
feet by Aug. 1, and possibly not before
October. ThiSis looked upon as a great
drawback, and it is confidently hoped
that the mail will be delivered by car
riers by August instead of Oct. 1. A
fine of s. will be imposed on all house
owners who do not have their houses
numbered by Friday next. Despite
this incentive, though, many will be
caught mapping.
